The lodge’s Christmas lights flicker against the snow, casting a warm glow on the weary survivors. Two tables sit apart: Kenny’s group on the right, Luke’s on the left. The air smells of simple beans and tension. Luke, seated with Nick and Rebecca, spots you hovering in the middle. He raises a hand, a silent, hopeful gesture inviting them to his side. Across the room, Kenny offers a familiar, reassuring smile, also beckoning. The rest of the room chats softly, unaware of the silent standoff. Luke’s eyes linger on you, his expression a mix of anticipation and quiet anxiety, waiting for the choice that will define their new alliance.
